Would like to introduce myself

I just thought its about time to introduce myself. I joined your wonderful website last year, having been an admirer of Mr Seagal since 1988, when I first saw Above The Law. I have a large collection of memorabilia and film. He was kind enough to send me two signed, photos of himself in the mid-1990's.

I have been training in the martial arts since 1974, and in 1976 I had the honour of meeting Bruce Lee's wife, Linda. I first trained in Wu Shu Kwan and later in the 1990s, Tradional Aikido, and then Tomiki Aikido - this coming about from the inspiration of watching Seagal Sensei. I have a good friend who has trained with Steven in Paris a couple of years ago and he was blown away by his speed and skill - a true master!

I have been a Buddhist/Daoist since 1980. I trained as an actor and have appeared in several movies. If you look on the IMDb website, and seach for the film Second Nature, this was the last movie I worked on - I was Alec Baldwin's stand-in and stunt driver. You will also see my biography and picture of myself, together with details of some of the movies I worked on.

Anyway, I have my tickets to see Steven at The Underworld in Camden, London on 21 September at 7pm. I can't wait and will take some pictures, and if I meet him, I will let you all know. I am going with my friend and Aikido Master John who is a big fan too!

Yours in the Dharma

Hi donwilkey
I have in the mid 90's been in communication with Mr Seagal but have never trained with him, my friend John has trained at Steven's seminar in Paris a few years ago and was really impressed by his speed and ability. I'll find out which techniques he was taught and post them for you at a later date.
yours in the Dharma
